Victoria Espiritusanto Hails 'Victory' as the Reigning Miss Teen Belleza Latina International 2010 Queen!

Victoria is making Victory in the world of pageantry, making Connecticut proud as the reigning ‘International Teen Belleza Latina Pageant’ Queen.

Victoria is no amateur when it comes to modeling and the pageantry world.  Though Victoria, a proud local New Haven, CT resident, has been modeling since age 11, which is considered a late start among other peers in the area of show business, she is moving up quite hastily in the national ranks. 

 

“I am not coming home until I get my dreams,” was the quote on her website page.  Perhaps

 some would hesitate, or give up after 4 years of commitment in the field, but her faith keeps her going. After months of hard work and reaching a first goal of winning 1st place at the 

Connecticut State Belleza Latina Pageant in January 2009, it was off to Florida in July, to

 compete for the International title.  The competition was rigorous according to Victoria,

 which included 6 other teens. She had to compete with other beautiful girls.

Victoria’s platform is teen outreach.  She has the desire to get the youth involved in positive activities and offers support and guidance whenever they need it.  Though she has a subtle personality, her winning attitude and desire to succeed is hardly restraint. She wants to give other youth the message that no matter how hard a dream is, that anyone can make it with dedication. Victoria is very active in her community, and has participated in or helped with several community events and fashion shows.  She has received special recognition from the Mayor of New Haven in honor of winning the Miss Teen Belleza Connecticut state title.

In her spare time she writes poetry and likes to take walks and is multi-talented with exceptional abilities in singing, modeling, acting, public speaking and cultural dance.  Victoria started with Fashion Models Institute in 2005, but has always had an interest in the performing arts.  Since then, this is the 2nd time Victoria has won a 1st place national title after competing in a pageant. She is committed to her title as the new ‘International Teen Belleza Latina’ Queen.   Currently, at age 17, Victoria has earned a role, currently working as an Assistant Manager at Interface Talent Network.  Her career goals include being a lawyer, with goals to study sociology and attending an arts school.

The Miss Belleza Latina Pageant in Connecticut, is run by Connecticut State Director, Marisol Vega, and has a goal to develop role models, encourage education, achieve personal accomplishments and encourage positive family values. It allows Latinas to be judged on individual beauty, pride, and personal achievements. The three main categories of the competition include interview, fashion wear and evening gown.


Other winners include Jeannette Rivera, 1st runner up in the Miss division.  Jillian Lopez,  1st runner up in the Little Miss division and Yaritza Santiago, 2nd runner up in the Miss Pre- Teen division.
